For the third year, First Baptist Church of Glencoe will light up the December sky with a show synchronized to music.

This year's theme is “In The Beginning ...,” Logan Moore, church member, said. Moore is responsible for the labor-intensive task of programming the thousands of computer channels that control the show, making sure the lights and music are timed together perfectly.

“The show will last exactly 20 minutes this year, so we should be able to get in three shows per hour,” Moore said. “We have all new music, and, of course, some new additions to the show.”

Those additions include lights, bringing the total in the show to more than the 300,000 seen last year, plus thousands more channels of computer animation.

The lighting ceremony takes place Sunday.

“The Etowah Youth Orchestra will be playing music for us ... at 6:30 p.m.,” Moore said. “We will have cookies and cocoa at 7:15 p.m., and then we will turn the lights on at 7:30 p.m. We invite people to line up on the (service) road in front of the church for the opening ceremony. We will have speakers outside with the music playing.”

The light show will remain active throughout December. It comes on at 5:30 p.m. daily. Weekdays, it shuts off at 10:30 p.m. On weekends, it runs until midnight.

Prime viewing locations are across the highway at Glencoe Elementary School. Tune to 90.5 FM to listen.

“As always, we do not accept (monetary) donations and would love for everyone to come out and join us,” Moore said.
